What is a Trading Day?

A trading day at FTT is any day you make at least one trade. As long as you execute a trade, that day counts as a trading day.

Non-Consecutive Trading Days

Trading days don’t have to be consecutive for the 10-day payout. This means you can trade on days that suit you best without needing to trade every single day.

Consecutive Trading Days

For the 5-day payout, trading days must be consecutive. You need to trade every day for five consecutive trading days to be eligible for the 5-day payout.

Counting Trading Days for Payouts

For payout eligibility:

  • 5-Day Payout: Requires five consecutive trading days.
  • 10-Day Payout: Requires ten trading days, which do not have to be consecutive.

Can I Trade 24×7?

The futures market is open from Sunday 6 PM EST to Friday 4 PM EST, with a daily pause from 5 PM to 6 PM EST for clearing and roll-over activities. All positions must be closed by 4:15 PM EST on a daily basis.

Can I Hold Positions Overnight?

No, positions must be closed by 4:15 PM EST daily. If positions are not closed, Fast Track Trading’s risk systems will liquidate the position and charge a $25 fee per contract.
